DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Autosomal recessive hereditary ectodermal dysplasia (mutation of the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 1 (NTRK1; gene defect on 1q21-22; Li M et al. 2012) with recurrent fever attacks, focal hypotrichosis of the scalp hair, enamel defects and hypohidrosis associated with congenital analgesia and mental defects (Indo Y et al. 1996). Consequences are injuries with poor healing especially in the distal extremities, partly due to automutilation and pressure points of the body (e.g. buttocks).
